The Spooky Dancing Skeleton

The skies hung heavy with clouds and the wind seemed to carry secrets on this cold and gray day. Grandpa John sat on his porch with a robe and wooly slippers, enjoying a cup of hot cocoa. He had heard rumors about a spooky dancing skeleton that was seen around town at night. People said it had been spotted at graveyards, abandoned buildings, backyards, and even inside homes. Some claimed it danced like a puppet with tangled strings. Others say it moved like something out of a bad dream. Grandpa John chuckled. "A dancing skeleton? That doesn't sound bad. Actually hilarious to think about!" But even so, something about the whole thing made him a little uneasy. He didn't like spooky stuff, especially when it was too quiet and lights flickered. After dusk, there was no moon. The sky was pitch dark and only the orange streetlights lit the empty road. Grandpa John was just finishing another level of a game on his tablet when he heard it.

Henry's Worst Day

It was a bright and sunny start for the day, but Henry the Grump was in a worse mood than usual. He woke up on the wrong side of the dumpster, thanks to a lumpy pillow that felt like it was filled with gravel. Not to mention, his soggy flannel blanket was stuck to his fur. "Grrrrmpphhh," Henry muttered. "What a perfect morning... for being MISERABLE." Reaching into a cardboard box, he pulled out a bruised apple for breakfast. On the side was a recently discarded newspaper. Henry decided to see what was going on, so he grabbed it to skim through. However, the front page headline made his expression sour instantly. "Great, just what we needed," Henry groaned. "The mail has been compromised." A mail delivery worker walked by with a magnify glass in hand. He peered into the dumpster and questioned. "Are you allowed to live in there? What's your status?" Henry scowled. "Are you allowed to ask dumb questions? Get outta here!" He...

The Candy Store

In the District of Corruption, Toddler Dictator Donny was plotting his next evil plan. The skies were red, thunder roared, and lightning flashed. He was inside his fortress called the Blight House, which was a golden dome with missile defense systems, a moat that was a swamp with crocodiles, and an enclosed wall with a drawbridge. Toddler Dictator Donny was in his golden highchair behind his desk, scribbling with a crayon on paper. "The next step of my diabolical project is coming! Anyone who goes against me and my wealthy friends is in cahoots! My forces will capture and send them far, far away! I guarantee it! We will also make pollution the standard!" Elon, his pet muskrat, observed alongside him as a wicked grin spread across his wrinkled face. The monitors displayed live video footage from across the land, showing various cities, towns, and activities. "We're watching everyone! Total control! For national security purposes, of course!" Elon flicked his tail...
